Living with acne
Drugstores offer a mind-boggling array of products and treatments that range from "The Power Pimple Peel" to the formidable sounding "Teminator 10," next to long-time standards such as Clearasil and Stridex. A stroll down most crowded malls will find a kiosk marketing Proactiv, the skin regimen touted by celebrities such as Jessica Simpson, Vanessa Williams and Sean "Diddy" Combs as an acne cure-all. "The over-the-counter stuff isn't necessarily bad for mild acne," Ganz said. "Look for topical creams, products with salycic acid or benzoyl peroxide; that's what's in Proactiv, by the way," she said. But you might want to see a dermatologist if the over- the-counter products don't work after two months, both Ganz and Lawley advise. "If they're using these things regularly, and the (skin) is not responding after two months, it should be worth it to go to a dermatologist and start prescription treatments," Lawley said.
Report: Detective in Fox case linked to other lawsuits, accusations
The Chicago Tribune reports today that Hayes was also a central figure in three other major cases that went awry. It also says Hayes was fired as an Alsip police officer in the '80s for allegedly hitting two handcuffed men with a baton. But a Will County Sheriff's spokesman defended Hayes, saying that assertive detectives are often the focus of criticism. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
